I have known (loosely) this libra guy for about three years. Contact between has been spotty as I didn't want to talk with him because he could be a little, let's say pushy and that put me off immensely.But we would have these conversations, debates really over all these different topics and I enjoyed them a lot but then it would become awkward when he would try and bring up the condition of our relationship and then shutdown when I would try to bring it up. I constantly told him I didn't want to be in a romantic relationship right now besides the age gap of course. He is 43 and I am 24. I set the line but sometimes my resolve would weaken. But I know we wouldn't work out because he believes a family will make him better. This whole experience has left me with a perception of Libra men. Has anyone else gone through this or is it just me?

43 and can't handle a simple relationship talk. Oh wait.......Libra. Shocker. Too selfish. He only cares about what he wants.

Now, I'd be a hypocrite if I said stick with someone your own age, considering I'm 12.5 years older than my boy. But, aside from him wanting to settle down, you're emotionally incompatible.

Trust your gut when it feels put off. And try to find someone who actually respects your wishes.

But that's the funny thing I seem to attract these men who "think" they want something consequential but lose it when they find that its hard work and effort on both sides and your right. Maybe someday when males stop competing with females for the petty awards.

I think it's the screwed-up state of society that has ruined it for everyone else.

Tinder, the cancer known as social media, people with their noses buried in their smartphones, butthurt political correctness.

People have forgotten that we are companiable creatures by nature. But instead, they are too busy putting more barriers between themselves and everyone else.

I don't think you can fault him for trying to get into a relationship with you. I would go as strongly to say it would be his biological predisposition to attempt to mate if he found you attractive. In a one-sided friendship, there will be always be a loser. From how it appears, he doesn't see you as a friend but as a lover. You can't always have it your way.. you'll have to choose between stringing him along to have these "meaningful debates" or cutting him off completely.

You and this guy aren't compatible. If you keep attracting the wrong guys you need to fix your picker. Men really aren't interested in relationships with women that don't include sex.
